The complaints are already pouring in online as celebrities such as co-host La La Anthony (top), Venus Williams, left, and Janelle Monáe (right) failed to impress the Twitter fashionistas.

La La was adorned in a cut-out gown by designer LaQuan Smith and David Yurman jewelry.

One Twitter user wrote:

"#LaLaAnthony in #LaQuanSmith just looks tacky. She's another host who completely ignored the theme. And I still have no clue as to why she is a host. #MetGala2022."

La La is a TV personality and former DJ, best known as an MTV VJ on Total Request Live. She was asked whether her burgundy gown was on theme. She responded, "I think it's on theme, but it still feels like me."

Invited guests were asked to make a fashion statement in keeping with the theme "In America: An Anthology of Fashion: Gilded Glamour and White Tie."

The term "Gilded Age" was coined by author Mark Twain in a novel in the 1800s. It means an embarrassment of riches and excessive materialism.

Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour was criticized for being "out of touch" with the times. As many Americans struggle with rising inflation, high rent, high food, and high gas, Wintour celebrates smug opulence.

Beauty Tips: La La Anthony Shares Her DIY Hair Masque for Dry Tresses

Photo by Prince Williams/Wireimage

With the city on lockdown and hair salons closed for over a month in many states, actress La La Anthony decided to make her own deep conditioner to moisturize her long tresses.

The mother-of-one whipped up her own DIY (do it yourself) deep conditioner at home, according to the NY Post's Page Six.

"I have been mixing caster oil and avocado," said the 40-year-old actress. "I just really got into the henna mask [as well]. I never even knew about that before and my hair has been doing really good. I'm hoping this is something I can keep up with."

La La is fortunate to have her own on-set stylist, but the coronavirus pandemic has forced women like La La to return to their roots and maintain their own locks in their kitchens.

"I wash my hair like every two or three days now because I'm working [out] and get sweaty," she continued. "I'm not able to do that [in] my regular life because I'm so busy."

The "Power" actress added that taking a break from professional styling has done wonders for her hair.

"I'm not putting any heat on my hair. I condition it and keep it healthy. It's nice just to let it breathe and rest. Same thing with my nails. I just popped them off a while ago, and I think my nails are thanking me. Everything is getting a rest."

Watch the video below to learn how to mix your own deep conditioner that will leave your hair soft and shiny!

But before watching the video, be careful not to add every essential oil in your kitchen. Avoid the temptation to overdo it. Remember, less is more.

And if you must add a conditioner to your DIY deep conditioner, make sure to check the expiration date on the bottle and don't use a 10-year-old bottle of 6-in-1 reconstructor deep conditioner like your auntie did.

Over conditioning your hair can cause more harm than never conditioning your hair.

La La Anthony welcomed her estranged husband, Carmelo Anthony, into her West Coast home to quarantine with her and their son, Kiyan Anthony, 13.

Sandrarose.com reported last year that the couple were living separately after the paparazzi snapped 'Melo enjoying a yacht outing with his side piece in Europe.

The photos went viral just days before La La celebrated her 40th birthday in June.

La La and Carmelo tied the knot in 2010 after nearly a decade of dating. They split on "good terms" in July 2019.

La La told Access Hollywood that holing up with 35-year-old Carmelo has "done wonders" for their son.

She posted a photo of the youngster showing off his eyebrows that were arched like mommy's and wearing the same lipstick shade as hers.

La La says she and 'Melo are navigating through the uncertainties of COVID-19 as a family.

Carmelo maintains an apartment on the Upper West Side of New York City, while La La works out of her Los Angeles home that she shares with Kiyan.

The separation has been difficult on young Kiyan, who needs a stay-at-home dad now more than ever.

Child experts say children need their fathers in their lives particularly during the crucial psychosexual stages between ages 1 and 7.

Tongues were wagging when married actress and socialite La La Anthony was spotted out on a breakfast date with actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

La La was spotted eating breakfast with the hunky actor in Manhattan recently. The sighting prompted speculation that La La has moved on with Yahya.

Yahya, 33, stars in HBO's superhero series Watchmen. He is very well educated. He was accepted into Harvard and Yale (he chose Yale). He also worked as a city planner for the city of San Francisco.

In other words, Yahya is a great catch for a 40-year-old single mother who has bad luck with men.

La La is still married to NBA star Carmelo Anthony, 35. If you recall La La was publicly humiliated by Carmelo when he was spotted yachting with another woman.

According to insiders, La La and Carmelo's marriage is over, but they have an agreement to keep their outside relationships out of the public eye for their son Kiyan's sake.

Did La La just break the agreement?

According to Rhymes With Snitch, Yahya is one of La La's "acting mentors" and they work out in a gym together.

Despite getting sweaty together every morning and eating breakfast afterwards, La La's rep claims there is nothing going on between them.

"It celebrates the beautiful shades of culture that comprise the inner and outer beauty of everyone. Embracing the unique nature of our skin tones threads together the tapestry of humankind."

The project features Lupita's "Troublemaker" rap alter ego, first introduced last month on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Open Post: La La Anthony is tired of you saying she can’t act: ‘Can you do better?’

WENN/Avalon

La La Anthony responded to social media followers who insist she can't act her way out of a paper bag.

The 40-year-old's character, Lakeisha Grant, was killed off in the recent episode of the Starz scripted TV series Power.

During an appearance on Power 105's The Breakfast Club, La La talked about getting her head blown off by co-star Naturi Naughton, who plays Tasha St. Patrick.

"If you're going to leave a show, then you want to leave a show with a bang, literally," she said. "You want people to talk about it. You don't just want to disappear, and nobody cares about it. I feel like this is a moment people will always talk about."

But La La's tone changed when discussing fans hating on her acting.

She challenged her haters to do better, saying:

"You got to be worried when people aren't talking. My thing is that… I'm doing it. So, if I couldn't do it, then why am I doing it? If you can do it better then why you not getting the [acting] jobs I'm getting?"

She also talked about her new role on Lena Waith's The Chi.

"These people aren't just giving me jobs because I'm me. They can hire anyone. They're giving me jobs because I go in there and I put the work in. And I also bring a following with me. I have almost 10 million followers on Instagram. People watch what I do. What's the point of having these great shows if nobody's watching them? You want people to watch. So, If you can do it better then you bring your 10 million followers and you do what I do."

WENN/Avalon

La La said she didn't allow her 12-year-old son, Kiyan, to watch the series but she was comfortable letting him watch her die in the last episode.
